I LOVE this DIY Easter egg project by Not Martha
It's such an easy and fun alternative to making the traditional hard boiled eggs. Plus, filled with chocolate and other surprises is so much better! See her step by step instructions and more great here.

I absolutely LOVE the work of sculpture, painter, artist and 3D developer Kit Lane. Her felting is beautifully crafted and the pieces are not at all as they seem. From first glance you see sweet fantastical characters but if you look a little closer animal bones and hair may bedeck these delightful creations. Her imagination prevails in the final piece as well as her descriptions.

After working as a 3D developer for the education and entertainment industry Kit had a need to create things that people could actually touch (mainly herself) without the aid of a computer. She's made over 1500 Jacabobs and Jacabunnies and although the process for making them are the same they don't come to life with a personality of their own until the very last step, when she creates the faces.

Winter Peacescape

"The good natured Peas enjoy the company of all the Strangeland creatures, even the occasional hedgehog and woodchuck in the short summer months. Yes, the Raccoon skull, rest his little soul, is pristinely clean, painted and preserved in acrylic blue, has all his teeth and was found on the snowy banks of the Red River of the North. I've been told his father was a traveling sort and his mother was from a good neighborhood. He seems to be quite benign, somewhat quiet which is to be expected I suppose, considering his state. Poor dear."

I saw these today and they just made me smile. Amber over at Whisker Works creates these whimsical mustache's on a stick by molding hard plastic. How cute they look in your wedding photos or just for fun!

This is super sweet. Made by Rae is celebrating the boy and has some wonderful tutorials from many guest bloggers for all things boy. I mean I like the girl things, but they are abundant and so it's really nice to see the boy celebrated. Even if you don't have a boy, you'll like a lot of these projects. There are so many!

I love this one from Notes From a Very Red Kitchen. It's not really just for boys it's awesome.
I just loved how you can take an old crib an turn it into this cool chalkboard. Check out her step by step here!

These sweet and simple wooden toys designed by Little Alouette are so precious! Each piece is handmade and finished with certified organic flax seed oil. They're modern and old school at the same time. I just heart them and what they have to say about themselves!
